iTunes is not able to play audio tracks encoded using the FLAC (Free Lossless Audio Codec) method and neither are the iOS devices. FLACTunes is a small and intuitive application that can convert FLAC files into iTunes compatible audio tracks.

The files processed by FLACTunes will not degrade in terms of quality because the app simply converts the data using Apple’s own lossless audio format (ALAC). As a result, you will have the possibility to play the songs on different Apple gadgets, including iOS devices.

What’s more, FLACTunes is able to preserve the included metadata, such as the audio track details or the album art. In addition, the app is able to handle high fidelity audio content (192Khz) and 24-bit files.

Working with FLACTunes is extremely simple: drag and drop the files you want to process on top of the main window and the app will take care of the rest. Since FLACTunes is able to use all the available processor core, the conversion will be quite fast.

All in all, FLACTunes provides a simple, intuitive and highly efficient solution for adapting FLAC files: you will be able to play the content using iTunes or your iOS device in no time.
